Benefit Information

Degree plan and course requirements

Per VA policy, courses or units that do not apply to your program of education cannot be included in the enrollment report to the VA. Please work with your advisor when selecting courses and refer to your LLUonTrack Worksheet regularly. You can find your degree plan by logging in to your Student Portal at .

Initial enrollment report to the VA

After the VA Enrollment Request form is received by the VA Certifying Official, enrollment will be reported to the VA. This initial report will not include tuition and fees in an effort to allow 猎奇重口s to make changes to their schedules without creating a debt to the VA in case of a drop in units.

Second enrollment report to the VA

After the last day to drop with a 鈥榃鈥 for standard term, a second enrollment report, called an amendment or an adjustment, is submitted by the VA Certifying Official and will include the cost of tuition and fees for those individuals who receive education benefits that cover those costs. Loma Linda University generally receives payment within 30 days of the enrollment report.

Stipend/BAH payments

Payments are made by the VA to the 猎奇重口 after enrollment is reported to the VA and reflects the unit load of your schedule (full-time, half-time, etc.) according to VA guidelines. Any questions about stipends can be found on the GI Bill庐 Comparison Tool online, or by calling 888-442-4551 or your Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.

GI Bill庐 recipient鈥檚 responsibility to confirm enrollment

Non-chapter 33 verification of enrollment is through WAVE (instructions are provided in the benefit award letter). Students using Post-9/11 benefits can refer to this flyer, Enrollment Verification, for instructions.

Invoices for Chapter 31

For 猎奇重口s receiving Vocational Rehabilitation benefits, an invoice will be sent by the VA Certifying Official to the VA, billing for tuition and fees, as well as books and supplies. Required textbooks and supplies charged with your 猎奇重口 badge at the Campus Bookstore will be included on the invoice. The amount of coverage for supplies is pre-determined on the Purchase Order submitted to the VA Certifying Official by the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.

Competing aid

Certain types of Cal Grant and other scholarships or tuition waivers that are designated solely for tuition and fees will be removed from the cost of tuition before billing the VA in accordance with VA policy. For example, if tuition is $5,000 and the tuition waiver is $2,000, only the remaining $3,000 will be reported to the VA.

Late registration fees

The Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 does not cover late registration fees.

Graduation

If you are still using VA benefits at the time your degree is awarded, the VA Certifying Official will send a 鈥渢ermination鈥 notice to the VA stating you have graduated.
